Best reusable drink bottles for kids

Leaky drink bottles are just plain irritating.
It's like, you're trying to keep things simple, grab a drink on the go, and bam! The thing starts leaking everywhere. I can't tell you the amount of times I've had to dry out a reading book and a school bag on the radiator.
It's not just about the mess – it's the constant hassle of having to watch out for drips and spills. It's like playing a never-ending game of "will it leak this time?" And let's not even get started on the frustration of finding your bag or pockets soaked because your so-called spill-proof bottle decided to do the opposite.
Seriously, can't a drink just stay where it's supposed to without turning into a mini flood? It's the kind of annoyance that makes you reconsider the whole hydration game.
I've tried so many bottles and here are my favourite drink bottles for children.
Flintronic Sippy Cup
This has been one of my favourite bottles. It's perfect for a younger child as a first drink bottle.
Size : 480ML
Pros of the Fintronic water bottle:
Leak Proof - as long as the silicone spout is closed after use.
ShatterProof - It's been dropped a few times and still works
Easy to clean - A cotton bud is brilliant to clean the spout
Good price - Only £8.99
Easily personalised - This cricut is great for this
Handy Carry Handle
Cons of the Fintronic water bottle:
For younger children - My 7-year-old says she is too old for this style of bottle.
Only 4 colour choices
Ion8 Kids Water Bottle
Another brilliant water bottle that doesn't leak. Can be a bit small but that could a good thing for a younger child or if you didn't want to carry a large bottle.
Size : 350ML
Pros of the Ion8 water bottle:
Leak Proof - as long as the lid is on, I can confirm this bottle do not leak.
ShatterProof - It survived a fall onto concrete
Lots of different designs - Enables this bottle for children of all ages
Cons of the Ion8 water bottle:
Bit pricey - Some designs are £14, but one coloured bottles start at around £8.50
Foxberry water bottle
This bottle is a hidden gem, it's small and doesn't leak. It's a simple bottle that requires a sucking motion to get water out.
Size : 300ML & 500ML
Pros of the Foxberry water bottle:
Leak Proof - as long as it's screwed on correctly it won't leak.
ShatterProof - It can be dropped from great height and trodden on and it still works
Lots of different colour lids
Different sizes
Buy in packs of 4 - Works out around £3.24 a bottle, perfect if you have a few chlidren to buy for.
Cons of the Foxberry water bottle:
Not very fun - So simple but a bit boring. A child will not get excited about the one.

Air up water bottle
The bottle is no ordinary water bottle. The air up changes the taste of water into a flavour by adding a 'pod'.

Handy Carry Handle
Fun - Lots of different flavours and tastes but the children are still drinking only water
Cons of the Air up water bottle:
Expensive - Very expensive. The bottle on its own is £29.99
A Fad - It's great at first trying all the different flavours but children quickly lose interest
Mouldy - The spout gets mould in it and is hard to clean
Difficult adding water - the lid is on very tight but it can be difficult taking it off.
